The condition of Captain Samit Majumdar, the Indian pilot who was stabbed by his Omani co-pilot during a flight to Israel, has stabilized. Saudi authorities announced that Majumdar's condition improved overnight and he is no longer in immediate danger. Majumdar, who sustained serious injuries, is expected to be transferred from Saudi Arabia to Dubai for further medical treatment on Tuesday.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates jointly announced that his condition is stable enough for the transfer, which will also allow him to reunite with his family during his recovery. Despite his injuries, the captain managed to open the cockpit door just before collapsing from exhaustion, enabling crew members and passengers to intervene and subdue the attacker.
Medical teams have not reported any further changes in his condition, which remains serious but not immediately life-threatening.
